Naples champion of Serie A: this is how the sky of Naples lit up after the consecration

May 4 will be remembered for a lifetime Naples like the day he touched the sky again, with Naples winning a historic Scudetto that has resisted in the last few days but which had a holder since February.

Osimhen did the miracle and he scored the goal of the final against Udinese (1-1) that certified glory for an entire population greedy for a party which it finally finds again for the third time in its history.

The long wait for Naples and the city that bears his name is over. Because Napoli, at least these days, is not a city with a team, but a team with a city behind it. Too many 33 years have gone by without being able to celebrate anything, but, although far from home and scared, the city of Buenos Aires felt great again, even more so.

The party was total, especially when the match ended in Udine and the celebrations in Naples lit up the sky for a few minutes. The image was captured in a video that went viral on the networks.

He had, yes, to suffer to reach the happy ending. And like any good story, it had its corresponding twists and surprises and heroes. Surely the Neapolitans would have wanted to certify it with a home victory, but they certainly wouldn’t have imagined this day at the start of the season.

It all started with an insufficient first half, in line with the bitter one against Salernitana last Sunday. This time the feeling of the game was even worse than a last-gasp goal. Because getting up twice is very complicated and a goal from Udinese in the 13th minute, a direct shot at Lovric’s team who brought with him the ghosts of the last game due to his resemblance to that of Boulaye Dia at Maradona who postponed the party long awaited It seemed too much punishment. Two consecutive shots in four days and less than 90 minutes to recover.

The Udinese midfielder managed to take advantage of a mistake from the Neapolitan swing to receive without marking and with time inside the area. Once again Spalletti frowned, noted in his notebook and seemed to know exactly what he had to do to change team.

And it is that Napoli seemed to have been playing with too heavy a slab for some time. Maybe having a whole country more on hold than ever or the chance to make history was too much for a team that had done everything so far perfectly, but lacked the finishing touch.

But the advantage of this Naples, one of them, is that in addition to being a choral team, it has enough individuality to emerge victorious in moments of greatest difficulty. And this time, like many others throughout the season, it was Victor Osimhen who guided his side to success with a goal just after the break that completely changed the game.

Diego Armando Maradona exploded 800 km from Udine with rockets, firecrackers and horns. And Napoli was another team. He recovered his essence, he got rid of the slab he wore and which prevented him from being himself, from being that feared team in Italy and that was the sensation of Europe.

Since the equalizer, Udinese know they have no choice but to endure the onslaught of a well-deserved star player. Because Napoli has rediscovered itself and hasn’t missed another opportunity to achieve the almost unthinkable.

This time a draw was enough. A 1-1 that may not go down in history like Osimhen will do after scoring the goal. A goal that will be difficult to erase from the Neapolitans’ retina and which it will be difficult to stop talking about in Naples. This time the Neapolitans did not miss the appointment with history, they became champions of the ‘scudetto’ and brought an entire city back to the top of Italy.
